Triple Lemon Birthday Cake {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

A Birthday, with Sadness // A Lemon Cake

April 19, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Yesterday, I turned 24, rather unceremoniously. Usually, I make a big fuss of my birthday – I drag it out for as long as possible, believing as I do that you should never waste a good excuse to indulge in all your favorite foods and coerce all your favorite people into spending time with you. But this year, given all the chaos in our city right now, it felt different. I still celebrated – last Saturday I had a fun […]

Pecan Toffee Coffee Cake

April 8, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Sunday afternoon I had a sudden urge to bake. I didn’t have anything planned, and didn’t even have a particularly strong desire to eat baked goods, I just wanted to do the actual baking. The whole whisking, stirring, creaming, folding shebang. Maybe, more than anything, I was just craving ritual. We’re starting to look for an apartment for next year and although I know that there’s no reason to be stressed out about it so early in the process, it can be […]

Thai Pork Sliders with Pickled Cucumbers and Sriracha Aioli {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

Book Club: The Chef’s Collaborative // Thai Pork Sliders with Pickled Cucumbers and Sriracha Aioli

March 24, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

I may have found a new favorite cookbook. When I look through upcoming cookbook releases and think about which books I want to include in my reviews, some are obvious choices – books that have received a lot of advanced praise, like Vegetable Literacy or Gran Cocina Latina, or books that were written by my favorite bloggers, like the upcoming Vegetarian Everyday from the blog Green Kitchen Stories. Others I choose on more of a whim, and the fact that The Chef’s Collaborative Cookbook ended […]

A Childhood Cookie // Oatmeal Scotchies

March 21, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

I’ve been craving cookies. I usually try to resist baking them for as long as possible, just because I know once they’re on the counter it will be hard not to eat them by the handful. But I’ve been putting off this particular craving for weeks, and it was time to give in. I thought about trying to come up with some creative new cookie that would really wow you, but, the thing is, I didn’t really want a fancy […]

Monkey Bread {Katie at the Kitchen Door}

Monkey Bread, For Sharing

January 25, 2013 by katieatthekitchendoor

Over a year ago, I promised my coworkers that I would bring in some homemade monkey bread for them. Today, they finally got it. What happened in between? Mostly, a lot of excuses, like, “I can’t bake monkey bread this week, I’m trying to eat healthy!” and “Monkey bread is off this weekend guys, I have to make Peppermint Mocha Sundaes.” This week I decided to cut the excuses – I put “make monkey bread” in my calendar for Thursday […]
